Delaware River Report / Conditions August 16, 2021

We’re still sorting garbage and tires but a huge thank you to everyone that came out and participated in Get Trashed 2021.  We’re already talking about making 2o22 bigger and better!

The sun stuck around longer yesterday than Wunderground led us to believe but people still found some fish.  There were some sulphurs mixed with olives up top but most of the action happened after the sun dropped. The lower West was mostly olives with an occasional cahill and Isonychia.  We should see a little rain this week which will definitely help.
